[57] ABSTRACT
A picture frame for a poster and the like is provided which has an edge support for the edge of the poster, the edge support extends substantially the length of the respective poster edge and includes a back plate extending the length thereof and a substantially C-shaped member extending from the plane defined by the back plate. The C-shaped member is connected to the back plate and a leg of the C-shaped member extends towards the back plate to define a gap between the terminus of the leg and the back plate for the purpose of receiving the respective edge of the poster. At least one fastening element is associated with the edge support for fastening the respective poster edge thereto, the fastening element is substantially C-shaped to overlay the Cshaped member of said edge support and includes means to engage therewith. The leg of the fastening element overlaying the second leg of the C-shaped member extends into the gap between the leg and the back plate to press the poster edge against the back plate to thereby fasten the same thereto.
